I went to CNN and checked out the article.
It’s hardly a “pissing match”. The two states are competing with each other to attract business and therefor jobs. We need more of this kind of competition.
I’m not surprised that CNN would call it a pissing match, though, considering how the left demonizes business.

Of course, “states competing with each other to attract business” was the whole idea behind having a Republic of sovereign states, each free to experiment with different approaches to governance as they saw fit. Or am I missing something?

Just looking at that picture of Governor Scott reminds me that I think it’d be great to do a research study that analyzes media bias by looking at the pictures newspapers use of politicians. Namely, do left-leaning news sources use more flattering pictures of left-leaning politicians and less flattering ones of right-leaning politicians?

Classey? HA! Glass houses. Pajamas media I challenge you to hire some young male interviewers. I have not seen a single young man on your web site conduct an interview. You’re extremely sexist in using only dumb valley gurrls as your I bet you can’t and won’t get classey.

Fred, you should read up on the psychological phenomenon of projection. It’s a pattern of behavior in which you accuse others of committing sins that you know YOU are guilty of. For example, a man who assumes all young, attractive women are “dumb” and stereotypes them as “valley gurrls”, while attacking the employers of those women as “sexist”, is clearly engaging in projection. It’s painfully obvious to everyone.

Also, before lecturing the rest of us on what is and isn’t “classey”, you should make sure you have some understanding of what the word means. Here are some hints: Classy people don’t whine and throw tantrums in public. They don’t spew juvenile insults. They don’t embarrass themselves by making libelous accusations supported by no evidence at all. And classy people write well, which means their writing isn’t peppered with misspelled words and errors of punctuation and grammar.

If you are dumb enough to allow the poison of the Lamestream Media into your mind you deserve to be angry, confused, and personally insulted. Don’t watch it and shame anyone that does watch it. Don’t watch it ironically. You wouldn’t accept the National Enquirer or Hustler as a source, CNN and others should be treated with the same contempt as Hustler.

When was the last time any of the breaking news on TV turned out to be very important in the first hour of you learning about it? Most breaking news is news that is a few days old but which the cadres of hairsprayed Ted Baxters have just arrived on scene and finished their air checks before telling the audience what their producer or the local stringer told them to say.

If you found out about the Japanese tsunami a day later than everyone else, so what? How is you life harmed if you find out bin Laden was killed 24-48 hours after the rest of the world?

We have countless 24 hours news networks and about 50% of their content is “we have 10 seconds to commercial” or the splashy audio and graphics to warn you they are changing subjects.

“You wouldn’t accept the National Enquirer or Hustler as a source . . .”

How quickly they forget. The National Enquirer broke the story of John Edwards’s extramarital affair and out-of-wedlock child. CNN, the New York Times, and the rest of the MSM knew about it, but chose not to report it.

Darn you BooMushroom, you beat me to that…. I thought I was being clever, mine was going to be “California and New York in ebt card and unemployment business pissing match”, but Illinois would do just fine. Especially being the adopted home of the welfare pres.
